Sorry for the loss of someone so close to you, John. I know that the bond we share with a grandparent can be sometimes be just as tight as that we share with a parent. Best wishes to you and yours. Beverly

Here's another vote for Bob. Cat wanted to vote for a cat, but said if Bob is a Model A dog then he can't be all that bad. Good luck Bob.

Sorry to hear about this, Bill, especially such a sudden lose. Very sad for a young daughter to lose her mother like that. My condolences to the whole family. Beverly

Don't really have any ideas on the research aspects, but do know that different states DMV handle the vehicle id differently. My dmv required the frame number and totally ignored the engine number.

Thx again Tom for looking at my pix and giving me an answer so quick. I'll get a spring on order tomorrow.

Thx Tom. Removed cover and saw spring you described. It is hooked next to zerk fitting, but is not loose on either end. (pix attached) The pix is taken showing spring when pedal is at rest but still 2 - 3 inches low. The spring appears to still be open quite a bit. I can push the pedal...

When I depress & release the clutch pedal, it doesn't return to the same height as the brake pedal. It's about 2 1/5 inches lower with no tension on it (pix attached). I can easily pull the pedal up into position so I know it's not binding on anythng. As far as I remember it shifted okay the...

Bought your novel on amazon and am about half way thru. Enjoy mystery novels and finding your book a good read. Hope you turn out more.

Thx for taking a look at my pix of the exhaust ports. Your answers really reduced my stress level. Was afraid I'd have to spend paint money on engine work. As for the carbon, plan to work that next. Found the GAV wouldn't rotate - was stuck at seat in carburator. Took carb apart and cleaned...

Thx Jim, that was the problem. I was getting a "missing security token" and that threw me off.

pix missing - I'll try pix again

Just bought a new exhaust manifold to replace a cracked exhaust. Old one in bad shape, looks like it’s been welded at the crack - pix attached. There’s lots of soot/carbon in and around the exhaust ports, too. Looking in #2 exhaust port I can see what looks like a piece broken off - pix...
